Product Attribute...
In the SD, I'm having trouble getting the reference from the Product Attribute. Perhaps my syntax was wrong. I was able to get at the spec attribute following one of your blog posts but not the Product Attribute. Do you have a sample expression for that?

This is looking to be a decent solution to achieve split order/shipment. Perhaps there can be something like a standard Item Shipping Attribute in a future release to not resort to Product Attributes but I'm glad SD could handle the "packing" portion as well. Thanks!

Hello,

We need to implement the following requirement.
Our store will sell 2 types of products:
•  Products A
•  Products B
Products A will be filtered by a particular manufacturer – let’s say Manufacturer A. All the other products where manufacturer is not A, will belong to Products B.

Products A will be shipped by external logistics company via UPS service.
Products B will be processed and shipped by our team via UPS service.  

Accordingly, the UPS account for shipping products A – will be UPS 1; the UPS account for shipping Products B – will be UPS 2.

Correspondingly, customers can have an order with mixed items – Products A and Products B.  
We need to have an ability for splitting the order into 2 deliveries, each will need to have its own calculation of shipping costs and tracking shipping status.  

Is it feasible to implement such a flow using nopCommerce capabilities and any existing plugins?

RE:  "splitting the order into 2 deliveries"
Physically, packing and shipping are done manually, and thus you can split into two shipments on the order (and enter separate tracking #'s).

However, UPS rate calculation using two accounts would require customization.

I believe so. Our workaround to get split shipping was to use the shipping director plugin and have shipping as a product attribute for each and every item.

BUT for your scenario, if that's not ideal for your workflow, it sounds like you can easily place and IF statement somewhere in the UPS plugin (ShippingUPSController.cs) and maybe override the model _upsSettings values with different values of the other UPS account.
